When Daryl Hannah wore elbow-length gloves with her stunning gold dress and long blonde waves at the 1988 Academy Awards, she got heads turning. She looks absolutely ravishing — a total princess.
We wonder how a look like this would go nowadays. It reminds us of something right out of “The Princess Diaries.”
Hilary Swank
Hilary Swank won an Oscar in 2005 for her amazing performance in the movie "Million Dollar Baby." She made quite the entrance with a very sexy, low open-back Guy Laroche dress. We had no idea that Swank had such a sculpted back!
There aren’t too many people who could pull off a dress like this.
Anjelica Huston
It seems like each generation has its own kooky couple. The '90s, for example, had Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder wearing that crown. The 70s had these two — Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson. This image from the 1975 Oscars ceremony features Huston long before her Morticia Adams days but she is just as glamorous.
This beautiful metallic gown is giving us some major Under the Sea vibes. Not only is the material the color of a shiny pearl, but the pattern has glowing scales just like a mermaid's tail. Huston has absolutely no problem stealing the show in that number.
Marion Cottilard
At the 2008 Academy Awards, Marion Cotillard looks like a modern mermaid in this Jean Paul Gaultier dress. She finished her look with a Chopard diamond necklace and ring, and a Daniel Swarovski clutch.
Seeing this reminds us of how the "La Vie en Rose" actress completely immerses herself in her movie roles.
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz is an actress who always seems to kill it with her red carpet looks. However, this kimono-type gown, comparable to something you may sleep in didn’t work for us.
She sure did improve in later years with her outfit choices.
